The TOS seem pretty plain to me. The Wireless connectivity is there for the purpose of updating the Kindle and connecting to the Kindle store. The Google search and Wikipedia links are icing on the cake. I certainly don't believe they intend to be a free Internet provider for their entire customer base.

I am a number not a person how sad, why don't the captains of industry that run the planetary sized companies, that seem to run our planet. Respect the fact that I have bought my Kindle in good faith and now consider it in all senses to be mine? Taking it as being a device in all senses to be a device I legally control. I should be able to do what ever I want with it as long as I infringe no one elses rights ? Why the threats? Unless of course slavery is not old fashioned yet? |

Amazon provides a free service that allows its members to download books from wherever they are, and in addition, when reading and encountering a new concept or unfamiliar name gives its members the convenience of doing a search right from their Kindle. Bandwidth costs money, but so far Amazon has continued to foot the bill on our behalf. The abusive practice of tethering is the very sort of thing that could ruin it for all of us.

I wrote to Amazon and asked them about tethering, and here's the official word from an Amazon representative:
